ARTICLES RELATED TO India Plate - 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake
The 9.15 magnitude 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake was caused by stress in the subduction zone where the India Plate is sliding under the Burma Plate in the eastern Indian Ocean, at a rate of 6 cm/yr (2.5 in/yr). The Sunda Trench is formed along this boundary where the Indo-Australian and Eurasian Plates meet. Earthquakes in the region are either caused by thrust-faulting, where the faultline slips at right angles to the trench; or strike-slip faulting, where material to the ea ...
